To Lobby for Single Payer: Go to Lancaster County Democratic Committee’s table. Logistics meeting in the restaurant near the lobby bar Friday evening. Or look for folks with “HealthCare4ALLPA” buttons as well as “Support the Single-Payer Resolution” buttons. Or contact Jerry Policoff @ 717-682-4434.

The local schools didn't even bother to open this morning. The Arlington County government is warning residents to get ready to "shelter in place" for up to 5 days. Metro has already announced that they'll be closing the above-ground stations tonight or tomorrow...

I think DC/Maryland are predicted to get hit much worse than us. But I do have to travel from CMU to the Southside near Station Square around 4:30, and then from the Southside to Point Breeze at 8:00 tonight, and then from Point Breeze to the Southside tomorrow morning and back tomorrow after noon. I am not nervous about the weather per se, but I am worried some other driver is going to skid into my car.

Um, the roads are, in fact, very bad. At nine Friday night, I drove from Station Square across the Smithfield Street bridge to Oliver to Grant to Fifth and then Forbes and then through Oakland to Fifth again and then all the way to Penn Ave all the way to about Braddock. None of the roads were salted, no salt trucks were out, and the roads were really crappy. Although, I never got stuck (despite one car in front of me that had got stuck) and the tires on my car are supposed to be really bad in slippery conditions.

I mean if the of dumping a lot of snow in ONE storm in ONE area of the planet doesn't invalidate the collected data representing global trends representing centuries worth of climate data, I don't know what will!
